INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS AND FINANCE
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
This course aims to highlight the major economic problems that characterize the present-day developing countries with special reference to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and East Asian nations. While the problems and issues are brought out in a non-technical fashion, the relevant policies are discussed with the help of appropriate empirical evidence so as to allow the students to gauge the extent of success achieved by various policies.
The course is likely to impart useful knowledge and information on the prime development issues that concern the developing world today. After the successful completion of the course, students should be able to identify the main problems that are currently faced in the developing countries and would be able to make some policy suggestions in dealing with these problems. They will also gain some useful experience on the economic development of Singapore.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
-
acquire knowledge and a broad awareness of the various economic issues faced by the developing countries, in particular countries in this region,
-
understand how policies are implemented in developing countries to meet specified goals and objectives,
-
apply the knowledge gained and make suggestions in dealing with the issues faced by the developing countries or their country of origin,
-
cultivate a deeper interest in current world affairs, such as the financial crisis and international trade, and
-
analyse how the knowledge gained can help prepare you for the marketplace upon graduation.
